Charlottesville, Va., Oct. 10, 2018 - St. Anne's-Belfield School Pre-School and Grades 7 & 8 Life Skills teacher J. Robin Albertson-Wren has published Mindfulness for Kids: 30 Fun Activities to Stay Calm, Happy, and In Control with Althea Press. Albertson-Wren co-authored the book with children's author Carole P.

"These fifteen stories and thirty engaging mindfulness activities brings mindfulness practice into daily life to help handle emotions and situations at home, at school, and with friends," said Albertson-Wren, who developed the activities out of her mindfulness work with clients, students, and families as well as from guidance and inspiration from hundreds of educators around the world.
